#everything i learn about McQ's process and his ideas of what makes a good story

[callmearcturus]

Chris McQuarrie is such a good writer, like, from watching Edge of Tomorrow you just know all the implicit storytelling, like how William Cage has never had satisfying sex in his life until Rita Vrataski pegged him, and then suddenly he was like "oh okay that's what the big deal is." And none of that is said outright, but you can tell, and that's just skill and craft.
